They should have sold all the tickets on eBay.

SWAYZThats exactly what he means. I didnt agree with what he says about flex prices. Flex pricing is usually mentioned BEFORE tix go onsale. Many think this tour is a bust, but I dont. These 18 shows will gross close to $100 mil. Thousands of seat sold for $600, many more at $1,500,$1,200, $2,000 etc. In the end EVERBODY will get their fare share of $$$$.Quote

What he probably means is that you can't specifically buy a former $600 ticket for $85...but you can win one in the lottery...or get one from the Box Office Manager if you're not happy with your lottery win.

I mentioned something similar on the DC thread:
They should have an auction for all seats with bids beginning at $1.00.
That would be the only legitimate way to see how much people are willing to pay.
Sure the Pit might reach the $1,000 mark for several tickets, but I bet all nosebleeds wouldn't go past $50 at most.

AEG's "flex ticket" is analogous to the Hotwire/Priceline business model of fluid prices for airline tickets and hotel rooms.

With Flex pricing, if you go on a ticket site and put that you want a $450 seat, you might end up where the $600 seats were. If you put in that you are interested in a $600 seat, you will get that $600 seat.
If you just discount the seat, then the $600 seat is no longer available, so flex pricing gives the fan the opportunity to pay top $$$ for their seats.

Which reminds me of airline pricing (your neighbor hasn't paid the same price as you) but I think that works the other way round, book early and you get the best price because as the plane fills up the price goes up, here it's clearly the other way round and it's not fair! That's the kind of stunt you can only pull off once...
